Scientists have found a 425-million-year-old millipede fossil from the Scottish island of Kerrera is older than any known fossil of an insect, arachnid, or other related bugs. A team of scientists at The University of Texas at Austin has used fossil dating techniques and discovered the world's oldest bug.
The scientist explained that multi-spectral measurements of aerosol absorption, in addition to data available from Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), indicate that the drastic decrease in pollution levels is mainly due to a reduction in fossil fuel burning emissions.
Asteroid 2020 KN5 is approaching Earth's orbit with an average velocity of over 28,000 miles per hour. NASA’s automated asteroid tracking system has detected an approaching near-Earth object that’s bigger than a building.
According to the astronomers, triple eclipses are very rare as compared to the double or single eclipse. Between June 5 and 6, a penumbral lunar eclipse will occur, which will then be followed by an annular solar eclipse on June 21 and another lunar penumbral eclipse on July 5.
Astronomers have discovered an earth-sized orbiting Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our solar system. Proxima Centauri is only 4.2 light years away, and the target planet - Proxima b - is just 1.17 times the size of Earth.
The novel coronavirus was well-suited to jump from animals to humans by shapeshifting and gaining the ability to infect people, according to a study which sheds light on the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A giant tectonic plate under the Indian Ocean is breaking into two pieces, a new study has found. In a report published by the Live Science, it was said that the plate, known as the India-Australia-Capricorn tectonic plate, is splitting at a snail's pace.
Interestingly, the new species look similar to other pygmy seahorses. However, the difference is, it has one set of spines on its back that have sharp, incisor-like points on the tips
Recent pictures of Antarctica would confuse anyone with the South American Prairie Grassland as the snow land has turned green. However, this phenomenon is not because of some goniochromism effect.
For the first time, astronomers have found quasi-periodic flickers in milimeter-waves from the center of the Milky way galaxy, Sagittatrius (Sgr) A*. The team found this astonishing revelation using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA)
Paleontologists in Australia have identified a rare "toothless" dinosaur. The dinosaur, an elaphrosaur, roamed Australia 110 million years ago, according to a statement released by the Swinburne University of Technology.
When exposed to the MERS virus, the researchers said, bat cells adapt, not by producing inflammation-causing proteins that are hallmarks of getting sick, but instead by maintaining a natural antiviral response.
NASA's commercial partners will refine their lander concepts through the contract base period ending in February 2021. During that time, the agency will evaluate which of the contractors will perform initial demonstration missions.
Asteroid 1998 OR2 was discovered by the Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking program at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in July 1998, and for the past two decades astronomers have tracked it.
